The examination and critique of society and literature, drawing from knowledge across social science and the humanities.

(mathematics) A branch of mathematics that studies special kinds of partially ordered sets (posets) commonly called domains.

A theory of how people positively and negatively value things and concepts, the reasons they use in making their evaluations, and the scope of applications of legitimate evaluations across the social world.

(literature) The theory or the philosophy of the interpretation of literature and literary criticism

(mathematics, algebra) A branch of mathematics that studies abstract algebraic structures by representing their elements as linear transformations of vector spaces, and studies modules over these abstract algebraic structures.

Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see scheme, theory. / (algebraic geometry) The branch of mathematics that concerns schemes (algebraic varieties equipped with the Zariski topology).

The idea of using small suggestions to influence behavior and decision making.

(literature) A minimalist literary approach used by Ernest Hemingway, according to which the writer should omit as much as possible, leaving the reader to infer it.

(mathematics) Those theories extending the eigenvalue and eigenvector theory of a single square matrix to a much broader theory of the structure of operators in a variety of mathematical spaces.

(mathematics) One aspect of the study of differential forms of a smooth manifold M. More specifically, it works out the consequences for the cohomology groups of M, with real coefficients, of the partial differential equation theory of generalised Laplacian operators associated to a Riemannian metric on M.
